While being rescued from his badly smashed up vehicle in January, Andrew Mac somehow manages to position his phone to record it all on video.
Earlier, he had reportedly fallen asleep at the wheel, and subsequently crashed, breaking several bones in the process.
As you're about to see, Andrew appears completely dazed and confused, even joking with the rescue workers who are saving his life.
Right at the end of the video, he says something a little worrying.
However, in a post on his YouTube channel, Andrew says he is recovering quickly.
He says, "I'm okay. On January 11th, 2015 I blacked out behind the wheel at 530 in the morning after a night in Victoria, BC. Drove straight into a pole on the drivers side at 60km/h in Duncan, BC. Suffered a broken right arm. Broken left Femur. Broke both knee caps. And both ankles. Went for major surgery in Victoria which took total 14 hours over a couple days. Metal plates and screws all over. Spent a month in hospital. Only 1 hot nurse. But I'm home now. And recovering quickly [sic]!"
What are your thoughts? Is this video taking the 'selfie culture' too far?
If you were in this man's situation would it occur to you to film it all?
